We do hope to be able to endure all things. You show us nothing.

But here is the bigger question you ignored again:

Do you hope for salvation and eternal life as Paul does and records in the bible?

Where did you get the false idea that I have no hope for salvation?-----Jamesone5 [post199]

And do I have to list that I have hope for eternal life as well, to satisfy only you?

But then, you would probably not look quite so foolish if you read all the posts.

No your hope really in yourself when it comes down to it.

We hope to be able to endure to the end---13th Article of Faith of the LDS Chruch.

You cannot reach that hope in Christ unless YOU endure.

Salvation is by hope and striving to overcome the world by keeping the commandments:

(New Testament | 1 John 5:1 - 5)

1 WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

So you only hope to keep his commandments?

Where is the word hope anywhere in what you submitted which are these verses?

(New Testament | 1 John 5:1 - 5)

1 WHOSOEVER believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

We do overcome[th] the world------ not hope to overcome

Without hope you will not overcome the world:

(New Testament | 1 Thessalonians 5:8)

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.



(New Testament | Romans 15:13)

13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



(New Testament | 1 Corinthians 15:16 - 22)

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

You have said that you are guaranteed to endure to the end.

That gave me the idea that since you were guaranted to endure, you would be guaranteed your salvation and your eternal life.

Are you guaranteed salvaton? Are you guaranteed eternal life?

If Paul wasn't guaranteed salvation, but he only hoped for salvation, and if Paul wasn't guaranted eternal life, but only hoped for eternal life, I suspect you are in the same place reguardless of what you think.

Therefore if salvation and eternal life are hoped for events, I would not be too hard on JS for saying that he hoped to endure to the end. See what I mean?

no hope to overcome the world in those verses as you refenced them after you made the statement that you did.

You are stuck with JS's false

Yes we do hope to be able to endure all things. David fell to the temptations of Bathsheba. Many others have fallen to temptations of many kinds. Who is impervious to temptation? Perhaps we will see who is and who is not.

Gee, do you think that David was a Christian in the OT?

That maybe Christ's grace and Hope that came many centuries later applied to him?

You are using NT verses to make your case

and the Mormon version of it is:

We hope to be able to endure all things

Joseph Smith


And you even backed that up:

Yes we do hope to be able to endure all things---HITW

And yes, We WILL see who endures and who is relying on human hope

sounds like you are babbling some argument but avoiding this like your fellow Mormon.

We hope to be able to endure all things
Articles of Faith

Versus Bible

1 Corinthians 13:7
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things

Or if you cannot understand that verse, maybe this one will help

1 Corinthians 9:12
If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ.

Jesus!! And He came to show us how to live with the Father and the Holy Spirit in our hearts, and that what He did we also can do. Have we succeeded? Nope, not yet! So? Keep on believing we can! It is no sin to be tempted---Jesus was tempted. The sin is giving in to it! When we fail, He will forgive, but we are to overcome! So we do not, ever, give up!

If you do not hope to endure all things what hope have you got?

(New Testament | 1 Thessalonians 5:8)

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.



(New Testament | Romans 15:13)

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

You seem to what to base your hope to be able to endure all things on your false prophet.

Me----- I will choose Christ who Promises me this:

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

What does walking on water have to do with enduring or the Mormon take--------hoping to be able to endure?

Of course I hope to endure all things, everyone should have that hope.
And so, you only hope to be Blessed by this verse?

James 1:12
Loving God Under Trials
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

And only hope that you are saved here?
Matthew 10:22
And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved

Not much of a Religion when you only hope it is the True one by your Articles of Faith. Kind of puts to shame a Mormon testimony where ONE claims he or she "knows" but in reality----- they are really relying on hope.
